Hindustan Times  

John Isner brought the curtain down on his tennis career Thursday in a five-set loss to fellow American Michael Mmoh in the second round at the US Open. John Isner hiding his face with a towel The 38-year-old Isner surrendered a two-set lead as world number 89 Mmoh saved a match point and came back to win 3-6, 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 in just under four hours. "It's tough," said an emotional Isner, who buried his head in his towel while soaking up the adulation of the Grandstand crowd. The big-serving Isner, who famously took part in the longest tennis match ever played at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships, announced last week his plans to retire after the US Open.
